@RxBrad It looks awesome and I want to try it. There are too many games I want to try now, my backlog is already long enough...

@SnoopJ This game looks so interesting and I really want to play it, there's just so much else in my backlog to get to first...

After spending all day trying to fix this, reinstalling Linux Mint on 2 different hard drives and getting different file corruption errors each time, I'm convinced it's just the motherboard. I don't know how else to explain it.

Tomorrow I'll try again with one of the tower computers I bought […]

@spacehobo 451 actually makes sense when you consider that 4xx should mean "don't try the same request again, it won't work next time either". 410 Gone isn't the client's fault either.

The only status that breaks this pattern is 429... maybe it should have been a 5xx, though it makes sense if […]

I already copied my important files to another drive and they look fine so now I'm just trying any potentially destructive thing that might work without a full reinstall.

`btrfs rescue zero-log` followed by `btrfs check --rescue` is doing something, not segfaulting, but it's been printing […]

Aaaaand `btrfs check` segfaults 🫠

Looks like the issue may have just been a loose NVMe connection? Either way, after re-seating the NVMe drive it boots without issues, but `btrfs scrub` fails with a metadata error so something is still wrong, going to try `btrfs check --repair` from a live CD...

@rakslice Ignoring edits is unfixable because Bluesky itself doesn't have edits. But it would be nice if Bridgy gave you the option to interpret an edit as a delete-and-repost.

Pick a language you know well enough and there's probably a web framework in it. And then if you don't want to self-host, everything is Docker now, so you can just make a Docker container out of it and put it on a cloud host somewhere.

Some of the […]

The mismatched leaders/civs are kind of immersion-breaking but also interesting enough that I still think it's a plus. And the AI seems smarter than Civ 6's; one of my allies even stole a city I was conquering from a mutual enemy, by lurking nearby with a single swordsman to capture the city […]

@hongminhee @zenbrowser It's main selling points are vertical tabs (less features than Firefox's Tree Style Tabs extension, but a little more stable) and window splitting (unusably buggy the last time I tried it, but that was a few months ago).

I don't think it offers much beyond Firefox with […]

@blake Had a similar idea for adding rich text support to Nostr notes (kind 1), because actual rich text is not backward-compatible with existing clients. There's not enough experimentation with out-of-band text formatting; outside of Bluesky's facet system I can't find any existing […]
